Quick shave today, tried glycerine soap as a preshave to add a little extra slickness, and I think it did help a little.

DE SOTD, Tuesday, October 1st 2024

Razor : Yaqi Sentinel 1.5mm 316 SSP with my Yaqi Tear drop 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2022>, mild range with a standard Gillette blade. Excellent machining and finish QC, similar design to the Personna BBS and Wolfman W2 variants. The best method for myself to get those close comfortable shaves with this razor is shallow(riding the cap) seems to be the most effortless for good results and with no irritations at all. Great daily driver IMO. One of my favorite razors that should be used more since mastered. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Personna red (3) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity. Top tier in my collection of top 5 blades. Great blade made in USA also.
Soap : Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore, nice vanilla light tobacco scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Robin" 24mm boar bristle knot. Excellent lather generator, soft split ends brittle tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Pinaud clubman splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : Dial 10 stellar.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Yaqi sentinel with a Personna red blade.

No picture today. Laziness won after a late day at work. Really good shave today though. I'm growing to really appreciate the Athena. It doesn't feel nearly as aggressive as my other razors, but seems to deliver similar results with much less post shave alum or A/S feedback. 9.5/10.

Razor: Athena
Blade: Bolzano
Brush: Wald A1 Bloodline
Lather/Post: Noble Otter Jack
